Bloodborne rewards you for hitting back when hurt

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

While most games encourage you to retreat when injured, Bloodborne specifically programmed its mechanics to make you rabid. The 'rally' system allows players to regain lost health only if they immediately strike back at the enemy that hurt them. It fundamentally trains players to abandon logic and respond to trauma with absolute, unhinged aggression.
